GOD OUR ALL IN ALL

GOD OUR ALL IN ALL

God is faithful. Even in times when the water level is climbing and trouble seems like it will overcome us, we can hold onto our faith and reach out to Jesus for peace. I leave you peace; My peace I give you. I do not give it to you as the world does. So don’t let your hearts be troubled or afraid.

Turn in the Bible to the book of Psalms. There we hear the cries of God’s people in times of trouble. We also hear echoes of our own frustration, our own fears, and our pleas for help from the only One who understands, the One who can best respond.

When you are truly strengthened by the Lord, your success in handling difficulties increases, your sense of security become double and you are willing to go on and on the track of faith. You gain confidence that you and God together can cope with whatever hard times the future may bring. You are ready for anything and equal to anything through the One who infuses inner strength into you.

Do what you can, and leave the rest to God. When you’re embroiled in a difficult situation, pour out your heart to Him, knowing that He listen and He cares. Rely on God, your ever-present Help in trouble. Refuse to let your problem become your main focus, no matter how anxious you are to solve it. You are to constantly focus on God who is the source of your strength.

The symbol of strength in the Lord is simply by looking to Him for help and guidance, doing whatever you can and trusting Him to do what you cannot do. Instead of trying to force things to a premature conclusion, relax and ask Him to show you the way you should go — in His timing. Hold His hand in confident trust and enjoy the journey in His Presence.

Walking close with Jesus is the key to coping through the toughest times. Leaning on Him, following Him, relying on His strength and help will come. Don’t panic when should obviously do, don’t give up on God; He has all solutions in His hands.

God our great healer, an ever present God in seasons of uncertainty, a sure hope in all hopeless conditions.

WHAT WILL YOUR NEW NAME BE?

WHAT WILL YOUR NEW NAME BE?

“Do not remember the former things, Or ponder the things of the past. Listen carefully, I am about to do a new thing, Now it will spring forth; Will you not be aware of it? I will even put a road in the wilderness, Rivers in the desert.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭43:18-19‬ ‭

Many of us have incorrectly taken on labels as our names. Maybe we have been labeled “loser” or a “dropout” or “unemployed.” Maybe we’ve labeled ourselves “unattractive” or “overweight.” But God doesn’t settle for labels that limit. Instead, He gives us a name that call us into a new identity that He has crafted just for us – names with meanings and names that speak to who we will become.

Will we be known by the ungodly way we used to live or by our new name, and with it our new obedience? Will we be known by our sins of the past? Or will we seek God, persevere through the wrestling as Jacob did, and fight to believe we are forgiven and made new. Can we leave our old labels behind and anticipate a bright future only He can give?

Maybe we have trouble hearing from God in the first place. Maybe we don’t take the time to hear God and listen for our new name. Maybe we don’t believe God has new names for us. Maybe we are comfortable in the same old patterns of identity and action we were known for so long.

We are extended this invitation to be made new, and this invitation from God never expires. New does not mean “instant” or “overnight.” New means “not like we used to be.” New means believing what God says about us and living into this new identity and reality with complete trust in Him. So do what it takes to be new and to stay new. Your old name no longer defines you. 

Isn’t it time to leave labels that have limited you and I behind in the new year? Labels like “forgotten” “rejected” "debtors" "beggars" or “not enough”? Ask God for your new name. You may be surprised which new names come to you. Names like “Overcomer,” “Provided for” and “Seen by God.” It’s never too late to be made new. We’re never too old to be renamed by God. Let’s begin this new year by asking God what new names He has for us. He will help us hear and overcome!

GOODBYE TO THE LABELS THAT LIMIT, GOD IS SET TO DO A NEW THING IN MY LIFE THIS YEAR

Morning Routines: It’s A New Day, A New Year

MORNING ROUTINES: IT’S A NEW DAY, A NEW YEAR

How does your typical early year begin? Is your yearly routine a hurried and a hustle, or those it begins in the peace and calm of time with God?

When we begin our year by spending time with God, it brings healing. “There’s no script, no race, no rules. There is only peace, courage and strength for the day ahead”

As much as it is practicable, let us start our early year routines with PRAYER, because it will lead us to comfort and shield us from the world spin cycle of striving, stress and anxiety. It will root our day in fullness instead of scarcity. More so that this year is tagged: DIVINE ALL ROUND SUFFICIENCY.

Each day this year, we are encouraged to turn to God’s WORD, which nourishes our souls and fills us up after the previous day’s pouring out. Sometimes we may take a passage and camp there, or a long section of Psalms, sometimes an entire book. Through the scriptures, we learn who HE made us to be.

As we spend time in God’s WORD, we will sense the Holy Spirit inviting us to lay down our anxieties and to give thanks for the deliverance he is bringing, even if we couldn’t see it yet. We give thanks for the things that has already happened, the things that are happening, and the things that would come. When we sincerely do this, we will emerge daily ready to face the battle of lives and we will be victorious certainly.

DIVINE ALL ROUND SUFFICIENCY had been declared for the entire 2020 year, guess what a clever Christian would do. He or She will pick up the theme, create a vision and run with it. Since we know that HE that promised is ready, willing and able to bring to pass all that HIS mouth has promised. Beyond reading the WORD, praying with the WORD, there is a certain place of trusting. Believing HIM this year will bring about much different outcome.

I see supplies to all our demands this year in Jesus Name. I see surplus over scarcity, I see abundant of rain over drought and dryness in your life in Jesus Name. I came to tell you that God is ready to surprise you this season, not just enough season is over, whether you see the sign of rain or not, your valley shall be filled. Congratulations for making it to the year of double double.

WHEN WE BEGIN OUR DAYS BY SPENDING TIME WITH GOD, WITH HIS COMFORT, HIS PACE, HIS TIMING, IT BRINGS HEALING
